It didn’t and I can’t help but remember some thing that’s always been said, that when a fighter is injured they go back to what their base strength is, and Tate’s base strength is wrestling. Not saying that’s what happened, but it’s possible.

I didn’t think Meisha was clearly winning the stand up exchanges, but you would imagine she would prefer to be there than on the ground.

also have to say, much as i dislike everything about Rhonda Rousey outside of fight time, watching her grapple the way she did was outstanding to watch. I love judo and i love bjj, watching those throws and transitions was awesome. shame she’s such a massive cunt the rest of the time

- Tate’s stand-up is slightly above-average at best. She has never knocked out a reputable opponent and her last strike-based stoppage came more than four years ago. As was stated, she excels at grappling but obviously that played right into Rousey’s hands.

– I’m still struggling to understand the hate for Rousey’s refusal to shake Tate’s hand while Miesha gets a free pass on calling Rousey a bitch numerous times leading up to the bout. Also, did everyone tune out when Rousey gave Tate full credit for being an amazing fighter after the bout?

– When “Cyborg” decides to cut the act and drop to 135 pounds, yes…bring her on.

Because it’s Ronda basically, Tate comes off as all sweet and cute so she gets a pass at everything. Everyone is going to focus on the hand shake and ignore anything she said afterwards, even though to her there was a very good reason not to shake her hand.
